Eaton Specification Sheet - CPS152 312
Through-feed back box style and two-gang construction streamline field wiring and enclosure integration, reducing conduit runs and on-site labor. This yields faster installation, lower total installed cost, and predictable performance for industrial power distribution in hazardous locations. The CPS152 312 is designed to work with standard Arktite CPS back boxes, supporting reliable mounting in chemical plants, oil refineries, and mining facilities. High amperage rating and broad voltage coverage provide flexibility to support both AC and DC loads from a single unit, simplifying panel design and stocking for 125-250 VAC / 18 VDC at 60 Hz. This reduces part counts and maintenance, and enables safer control circuits and motors in demanding environments. Copper-free aluminum housing paired with brass contacts delivers corrosion resistance and lighter weight, translating to easier handling, improved reliability, and lower lifecycle costs in harsh chemical, coastal, or industrial settings. Factory sealed construction minimizes ingress of dust and moisture, lowering maintenance and extending service life in explosive environments, while the delayed action circuit breaking feature enhances fault isolation during startups. The two-wire, three-pole configuration, Style 2 grounding, and 1" trade size simplify compatibility with existing Arktite CPS infrastructure, speeding procurement and field service while ensuring NEC/CEC compliance across a wide range of hazardous-location installations.

FAQs
When installing CPS152 312, verify Class I, Division 1 or Division 2 suitability and use approved through-feed back boxes. Ensure proper grounding with Style 2 and confirm 1" trade size fits the enclosure. Plan wiring routes to minimize ingress potential and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for hazardous locations to maintain compliance and safety.
Yes. CPS152 312 is designed to meet NEC/CEC requirements for hazardous locations and carries UL certification, including classifications for Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 environments. This alignment supports regulatory acceptance, easier audits, and safer operation in mining, chemical processing, and oil & gas facilities.
Absolutely. CPS152 312 supports 125-250 VAC and 18 VDC at 60 Hz, delivering flexibility for mixed power environments. This allows the same receptacle to power diverse equipment such as motors, sensors, and control circuits, reducing part variety and simplifying stock management on hazardous-location projects.
Yes. The two-gang configuration and through-feed back box style are built to integrate with standard Arktite CPS infrastructure. This compatibility accelerates field wiring, ensures reliable mounting, and reduces installation complexity on complex hazardous-location projects, while preserving compliance with industry standards.
The factory-sealed design minimizes ingress of dust, moisture, and contaminants, lowering maintenance needs and extending service life in harsh environments. Coupled with robust copper-free aluminum housing and brass contacts, it offers long-term reliability, reduced downtime, and lower lifecycle costs for continuous operation in mining, chemical processing, and oil & gas facilities.
